According to the Punch, some
Islamic elite have written to the Sultan of Sokoto, aljai Sa’ad Abubakar III,
asking him to lead the dialogue with members of the terrorist Islamic sect,
Boko Haram.
The elite, writing under the aegis
of concerned Muslim professionals had through the president of the
organization, Alhaji Mohammed Saidu, in a letter to the Sultan, said the
activities of Boko Haram were regrettable and that they constituted an
embarrassment to the Islamic religion.
The group also noted that there
had been no efforts by the Muslim leadership in the country to intervene in the
crisis and insecurity created by the sect members, adding that the Sultan’s
recognition would become doubtful if he fails to rise the occasion.
